I don't know how far you are from Cornell, but if her cancer is rare, maybe they will have some options for you? Your vet would have to contact them directly - they do not take calls from owners. They are argueably one of the best Universities in the world in Vetrinary medicine and they might have experiemental medicines in the works. Many human cancer drugs start out as animal drugs. It might be worth a try, I know two people who had pets with rare cancers and Cornell treated them for free as teaching cases.

Inside me is a thin woman trying to get out. I usually shut the bitch up with a martini.

I wish I would have known sooner , but thanks so much anyway for thinking of us. I don't know if they really could have helped though. It was so very aggressive and there have been only a handful of cases of it

Sock-M has now gone to the Rainbow bridge. I'm so heartbroken, but so happy and priveledged to have known and loved her even if only for a short time. She also restored some of my faith in humans seeing how you all were so supportive and even brought me closer to my family again.
